The Wave Nature of Love is not a collection of essays, nor a suite of philosophical meditations, nor a ledger of memories—though it contains all three. It is a book of inner weather, written in a voice that refuses to separate thought from feeling, tenderness from severity, or beauty from ruin. Moving between intimate portraits, historical reflections, metaphysical inquiry, and the raw poetry of existence, it traces the shifting tides of a mind that sees the world not in straight lines but in waves.

Eve has always called the Crystal Forest her home—a magical world where trees have quartz bark, the rivers sing with tumbling gems, and the moss glows with a gentle light. But a strange sadness is falling over the land. A formless, creeping shadow is consuming the forest’s sparkle, leaving behind a cold, colorless silence. When Eve discovers a tiny, warm crystal shard humming with forgotten energy, she is set on a perilous quest. Guided by a loyal firefly named Flicker, she must journey through echoing caverns and across chattering chasms to find the Heart of the Forest.

Soll Casey stole his brother’s future the night he caused the accident that left him maimed. Yearning for redemption, Soll steals again. This time, he sets his sights on his brother’s discarded screenplay, Banebirth, a brilliant allegory of the conflicts plaguing their gentrified town. If he can convince the power players transforming Sandhaven to endorse it, a golden opportunity awaits: a chance for hometown glory, and to become the champion of his brother's talent. But something else has arrived with the new neighbors. A specter roams the woods. It stalks locals. It torments transplants.

How do you handle jerks—politely, strategically, and without losing your cool? They’re everywhere. The loudmouth at work who dominates every meeting. The sarcastic relative who always has a cutting remark. The impatient driver who honks before the light even turns green. Jerks show up in every corner of life—and too often, they drag us into their chaos. Most people either fight back, wasting energy in pointless battles, or retreat, letting the jerk win by default. Neither works. But what if there was a smarter way?
